Catheter-based vascular interventions continue to evolve as new devices continue to expand the capabilities of interventionalists and improve patient safety. The importance of athero-embolisation during vascular intervention has long been recognised.1 Embolic protection devices (EPDs) were developed to help prevent embolisation during endovascular procedures. The risk of distal embolisation is…

With an ageing population, the burden of peripheral artery diseases (PADs) is increasing. The treatment of these diseases has largely been performed by interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons and interventional cardiologists. In 2011, the percentage of procedures performed per specialty were 12.9 %, 45.0 % and 42.2 % for interventional radiology, vascular surgery and interventional…

A recent meta…

The use of cerebral protection during carotid stenting is being less and less contested. The protection systems currently available present a certain number of inconveniences.
The new system that the authors propose is an evolution of the cerebral protection concept by temporary occlusion of the distal internal carotid.1-3 Experience with several hundred endovascular treatments of the carotid…
